Audi A1 Front drivers Hub and driveshaft.

[Holster]

Good evening everyone, just wondering if anyone had any ideas regarding the hub and driveshaft on my Audi A1 

I needed to replace both these parts after going over a large rock resulting in me smashing my hub and splitting my driveshaft, it’s on the drivers side, I bought a corner suspension for it genuine part second hand, it was from a A1 25 Tfsi on a 2023 plate, mine is A1 30 Tfsi 6 speed manual on a 2022 plate. My mechanic came to fit it, however the hub on the replacement part was a different size to mine, I didn’t expect that so just wondering is this the case or was I sent the wrong part, I didn’t expect that return the items and got a full refund but now I’m confused which one I should be looking for.

Any help would be massively appreciated 

Thanks in advance

It's hardly surprising a different model has different suspension. The spring will likely also differ.

Driveshaft fit no problem I thought that would have been different not the hub

The hub was smaller than mine, I guess the hub has to be from identical model in order to fit.

ask your mechanic see if he/she can look it up

Yes you would think that but no I am doing the hunting for the parts.

Mine have been removed now so I am comparing parts via images and numbers but none seem to be exact.

Hello Holly,

I can understand you being the parts chaser, otherwise you are paying the mechanic for his time to do so. 

Having said that, I don’t know exactly how you are going about this, where you have looked to date, whether you are set on secondhand parts, and all important - do you know the part number of the hub you are searching for.

Perhaps you could colour in this detail for us Holly.

Regards,

Gareth.
